$SPY Today’s Trading Range, y’all
Alright so options has today’s trading range quite small, just .66%. And these are the levels going through it. Those of you that have been following for a while know exactly how to read this so I’m going to leave it at that since I’m a little pressed for time this morning!!
SPY trade ideas
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 2-6-25: Counter-Trend RALLY Today's pattern is a counter-trend Rally pattern. I read this as a downward trending type of rally phase/bar.
Much like yesterday's rally in the markets. Today should be just the opposite - a downward trending bar.
I believe this is a move downward setting up the Deep-V pattern which should hit early next week.
I suggest traders prepare for a rollover-topping pattern near this upper resistance area and prepare for the markets to move downward - seeking support.
Gold and Silver will likely move downward as well if the market does roll over, as I suspect. Gold and Silver tend to move downward when the markets shift into a downward trend.
Bitcoin is trapped within a range (again), and it appears that over the next few days, it will attempt to move downward with the markets.
Again, the next four to five days will be a do-or-die type of move. I've been telling all of you this Deep-V breakdown will happen for more than thirty days, so I'm watching to see if it really does happen.
Either way, it is now a bad idea to take some profits near these highs in preparation for any potential breakdown.

I just want to stress not to overweight your portfolios with these stocks because if the industry turns down, so will the stocks stocks within it. I also added a finance stock to the pullback list NYSE:IVZ we are seeing some strength in finance as mentioned in yesterday's video.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 2-5-25 Update : Rally PatternRight now, the markets continue to struggle to move higher. We are seeing a solid upward price trend, but I'm watching the MNQ and metals for any signs of weakness.
At this stage of the market's price action, I'm cautiously waiting for the ROLLOVER to setup.
My patterns suggest we move into a Counter-Trend Rally phase tomorrow (which would be a downward trending bar).
I believe the end of the trading day may see a very solid Long-Squeeze (trending downward) today.
And, as of right now - I'm just sitting on my trades, waiting for the Rollover to happen.
I would not suggest taking any big long trades right now unless you are prepared for the risks.
Sometimes, this is what trading is all about.
Looks like things are going to get very exciting over the next 3-5+ days.

GEX (Gamma Exposure) Insights
* Put Wall: Significant put support at $590, indicating strong downside protection.
* Call Resistance: Notable resistance at $610 and $615, suggesting a challenging path for SPY to break above these levels in the current session.

Morning OverviewI covered a bunch of pullbacks that I like for the morning as well some general market sentiment. The AMEX:DIA seems to be the strongest index to trade right now. A couple of sectors that are turning around are healthcare and water utilities. I think those are my highest conviction longs.

$SPY Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Feb 4 2025So in today’s trading range, we are just a little bit above the 50 day moving average that level is in focus above that we have the 30 minute timeframe 30 minute trading under the 35 EMA that is still bullish.
There’s not a whole lot of momentum Here right now we got pushed back from all time highs last week and pushed right back to the 50 day moving average, which is flat, and the one hour 200MA which is also flat. (From down)
We do have a support level after filling that gap at 590 on the day.
Overall, the general momentum looks pretty flat with a bar gap in the upper part of the trading range .
I have iron condors, and iron butterflies on from yesterday so the flatter the better today for me.

15 Minutes
Yesterday Gap down was not held.
590 was protected.
The number to watch at the moment is 586 on downside.
For the fall 609.72 to 590.5 602 is 61.8% retracement.
Since AMEX:SPY below all moving average 602 will provide a good level to short today.
If we take the last rise 590.5 to 600.29 594-595 will be good level to go long for 600-602 level as target SL 592.
Spy ideaI would be bullish if only the macd didnt look that bad very bad divergence and price is within channel but its getting olmost vertical non stop . As soon as this channel breaks we will se a correction. I dont know what will trigger it but i think it will happen end of month . Is 610 resistance dont hold 640 would ve the ultimate short. Not an advise
$SPY to new ATHs? Double-bottom off Dec24 VALAMEX:SPY is shrugging off the tariffs while companies continue to beat earnings, good manufacturing data today, along with bulls BTFD x2 off the DEC24 volume profile's VAL. Harmonic bros unite, not sure if it's valid but looks great to me. The market will learn to digest the erratic tweets from the POTUS.
$SPY Trading Range for Monday Jan 3rdAll right this trading range is based on the one standard standard deviation movement off of Friday’s closee
We gapped down underneath the downward facing one hour 200 moving average into the up gap from January 17 which was a previous support on January 27. Now we are underneath it. We’re making lower lows and we also gapped underneath the 30 minute two hundreds moving average and the 50 day moving average so look to those levels as resistance for now. Below us we have an island gap that needs to be filled and it’s really close. I wouldn’t be surprised if we head there next .
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Feb 3, 2025 Afternoon UpdateWell, it seems everyone did quite well playing my prediction of a breakdown (again) in the markets today. Last week, I continued to warn the markets were very fragile and would likely break downward aggressively.
Of course, the political drama (tariffs) helped to move the markets a bit this weekend. But, still, it was great to hear from everyone who made a healthy profit today.
GET SOME.
I also have been getting questions about the RALLY - RALLY - (counter-trend) RALLY setting up on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week. So, I created this video to help you understand why I believe those RALLY days will be rather muted on Wednesday/Thursday and maybe a type of topping pattern on Tuesday.
I see the markets as breaking downward (breaking away from the dual Excess Phase Peak patterns), and because of that, I see the markets should attempt to move aggressively downward over the next 15+ days. I don't see any reason for the markets to mount a big rally right now - unless we are talking about a pullback in a downtrend.
So, watch this video, pay attention to what I see, and then we'll see how things play out.
Go GET SOME. This is a true trader's market.
